In an era where pet ownership is on the rise, Akasa Air has taken a significant step forward in enhancing the travel experience for pet owners. With a keen understanding of the bond between pets and their owners, Akasa Air has recently upgraded its pet travel service, ‘Pets on Akasa,’ making it more accessible and convenient for passengers to fly with their furry companions.
A New Horizon for Pet Travel
Since its inception, ‘Pets on Akasa’ has been a beacon of hope for pet owners desiring to travel with their pets without hassle. The service initially allowed pets weighing up to 7 kgs in the cabin, but the recent enhancements have raised this limit to 10 kgs, container included. This change reflects Akasa Air’s commitment to customer feedback and continuous improvement.
The airline’s pet service has not only eased the journey for more than 3,200 pets since November 2022 but has also contributed significantly to the airline’s revenue, with earnings of approximately Rs 1.5 – Rs 1.75 crore. The service’s success is a testament to the growing need for pet-friendly travel options.
Tailored Services for Traveling Companions
Akasa Air’s approach goes beyond merely transporting pets. It offers a suite of value-added services that cater to the comfort and convenience of both pets and their owners. These include pre-booked window seats, priority check-in, and priority baggage delivery, ensuring that the travel experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Furthermore, the airline has partnered with the Umeed for Animals Foundation to implement best practices for pet comfort and safety. This collaboration underscores Akasa Air’s dedication to creating an inclusive and humane travel experience for all passengers, regardless of species.
The Future of Pet-Friendly Travel
The enhancements to ‘Pets on Akasa’ are a clear indication of the airline’s forward-thinking vision. By listening to customer feedback and adapting its services accordingly, Akasa Air is setting a new standard for pet travel within the aviation industry. As pet ownership continues to grow, the demand for such services is likely to increase, and Akasa Air is well-positioned to meet this demand.
